I have 98 eddie bauer ford explorer with headlight problems. Headlights work when first starting up and then about ten minutes into drive the dash lights flicker and then headlights go out. If i pull the highbeam back the lights stay on. Another ten minutes the lights start working correctly. Already replaced the multifunction switch on the column.

Has no relay for headlamps , just fuse's , fuse # 12 30 amp under hood fuse / relay box and fuse's 33 , 4 and 8 fuse box inside the vehicle .

Dimmer switch more then likely (hi ,low switch) , but testing B+ voltage in and out for low beams > Find a wiring diagram at http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Get a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter , Back probe the correct wires , red with black stripe at the dimmer switch , in the low beam position and headlamps switch on , is there B+ voltage ? There are videos on youtube for basic automotive electrical testing . Maybe you should take it to a qualified repair shop .

What's the problem exactly, Dreama? don-ohio (:^)

Sounds like the stereo system is pulling to much voltage and amps from electrical system.

dealership, or go to an autozone for a diagnostics test

yes they are the same tranmission

this a module under your center console your fog lights should also not work . i believe this is a lights out module . about 80.00 at dealer 35.00 at junkyard
